Cottage Cheese Blender Muffins
This super easy muffin recipe comes together in a blender in less than 5 minutes. You get a nice dose of protein from the cottage cheese. The recipe uses rolled oats and just a little sweetener with the maple syrup. You can also use sugar free chocolate chips to keep the sugar down.
The combination of the cottage cheese and the oats really creates a great texture here. If you prefer, you can use nuts, raisins, chopped dates as an add in to the muffins. I store these in my fridge and reheat them in my toaster oven and they turn out like I just baked them in the oven.

I don’t have a blender, can I use a food processor?
HI Lisa, yes absolutely you can use a food processor!
I made these with blueberries rather than chocolate chips, and while they are very tasty,
I probably should have greased the muffin tin liners as they were nearly impossible to get out of the liners. in the future, I will grease the muffin tin and ignore the liners. I found them to be moist flavorful, but a little bland in terms of spicing for me. next time I will double the cinnamon and maybe add some ginger. they were pretty easy to make, and they will be going in my rotation.
